CSE and MIDI Tapper Updates

August 04, 2017

Today, CSE gets its first update in over a year. Added by request, users now get a new option to notate equal divisions using zero-based notation. Previously, if you wanted to notate the first scale degree of 13ET (or 13-edo), for example, the notation would be (1,13). With the new option, that can be notated (0,13). This is useful because outside the comfortable island of CSE-land, zero-based notation is used almost everywhere in modern so-called musical set-theory. The reason zero-base notation was not implemented as the default for CSE was my personal preference for 1-based notation. To me, it makes much more intuitive sense to call "the first degree" 1, and not 0, and I know I'm not alone in feeling that way. But it does make good sense to have both options available. Thanks to composer Juhani Nuorvala for the feature request. Please login and download the update from the cse software page.

In other news, MIDI Tapper reaches its 74th beta cycle today, with an update fixing several bugs related to the recent addition of note shapes, and other recent performance enhancements. A problem with file association on Mac High Sierra should be fixed, although this may cause issues with loading files saved in older beta versions of the software. Feedback on this is needed. For a full list of bugs fixed and to download the update, go to the MIDI Tapper software page. A beta licenses costs 2.99 € and is valid for all subsequent beta releases.

Regards,
Aaron
